Verse 1
D
In response to a steadily diminishing
number of requests,
we'd now like to perform for you a
charming Edwardian ballad
which describes the curious properties
of a nauseatingly sweet wine
entitled
G
Have Some Madeira Madeira.
D
I think I crimped my Dr.
Scholl's foot pad.

She was young, she was pure,
G
she was new, she was nice
D
A
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen
D
A
He was old, he was vile,
no stranger to vice
D
He was bad, he was base, he was mean
G
C
He had slyly inveigled her up to his flat
A
D
to view his collection of stamps,
all unperforated.
G
D
And he said as he hastened
G
E
A
to put out the cat, the wine,
G
his cigar, and the lamps,
D
G
Have some Madeira, my dear.
C
You really have nothing to fear.
D
A
I'm not trying to tempt you,
that wouldn't be right.
One should not take spirits
D
at this time of night.
G
Have some Madeira, my dear.
A
It's ever so much nicer than beer.
D
G
Now I don't care for sherry,
C
and one cannot drink stout.
A
D
And port is a wine I could well do without.
G
D

It's really a case of Shakas on gout.

Ha -ha.

Have some Madeira, Madeira.

Unaware of the wiles
of the snake in the grass
C

and the fate of a maiden who topes,
D
Am
She lowered her standards
A
by raising her glass, her courage,
D
her eyes, an d his hopes.
G
She sipped it,
C
she drank it, she drained it, she did,

G

he quietly refilled it again. And he said as he secretly carved

A
D
one more notch on the butt of his gold -handled cane,
G
Have some Madeira, Madeira
D
A
I have a small cask of it here
D
Am
And once it's been opened,
you know it won't keep
A
D
Do finish it up, it will help you to sleep
G
Have some Madeira, Madeira
A
It's really an excellent year
D
G
Now if it were gin,
C
you'd be wrong to say
A
Yes, the evil jinn does
D
would be hard to assess.
And besides,
G

it's inclined to affect me prowess.

what her mother had said,

with her anti -penultimate breath.

Oh, my child, should you gaze on the wine when it is red,
A

be prepared for a faint voice then, then.

She let go her glass with a shy little cry. Ah! Crash tinkle,
D
it fell to the floor.
G
D
When he said, what in heaven,
G
she made no reply.
Em
A
D
up her mind and a dash to the door.
G
Have some Madeira, Madeira!
D
A
rang out down the hall loud an d clear
D
in a tremulous voice
A
that was filled with despair
as she fought to take breath
D
in the cool midnight air.
G
Have some Madeira, Madeira!
A
The words seemed to ring in her ear.
D
G
Until the next morning
C
she woke up in bed
G
A
With a smile on her lips
D
and an ache in her head
G
D
And a beard in her ear hole
G
which tickled and said
Em
E
A
D
Have some Madeira,
G
D
G
G
Madeira!

G
So now we're going to do
a song
about comparative religion.
Indeed. Yeah. Indeed.
Do we have anything further
to add to that?
Probably not. Well, I think we know the...
Okay. Shut up.

I think. Oh, good idea. Yeah. we go.
Mm, yum, yum, yum.
One.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
